Extra Credit:

I offer and encourage a variety of extra credit assignments. This work will result up to 10% increase in your final grade.

Assessment:

I will use a points based approach this semester. This rewards you for your work. Most assignments will be graded pass/fail; this means that if you do the work you will get full points. If you do not complete the work you will not get credit. On the Exams your score will reflect the number of correct answers. The Final Project Summary and Reflection will be graded using a Rubric which will be provided to you in advance.
